Your Faithful Carrier.

The carriers of the EVENING ARGUS
will make their annual rounds with their
addresses Monday morning. tits without
undue egotism, the ARGUS believes, that
1t claims that the addresses issued this
year are the neatest and most appropriate
ever served in this city. On the first leaf
appears an engraving showing the steady
growth of the ARGUS from six columns
on its first issue under the present pro-
prietorship August 2. 1882. to its nine
column issue of today. A great deal Of
care and expense has been used in getting
up the design. as a benefit for the car,
rier boys. The little fellows who leave
the daily news at your door in all sorts o.
weather, have had an unusually tough
time of it the past two weeks. Think o
the hardships they undergo and the faith
fulness with which they discharge thei
duties when they present their New
Years wishes Monday morning. and b
as generous as your heart and circum
stances will allow. The boys will appre
ciate such kindness, and they are deserv
ing of it.

Foster says: We advise ice merchants
to gather their crop before the first of
January, as there is probability that ice
will be greatly damaged by the weather
during the first week of that month. 1t
is barely possible that good ice may be
obtained about the 18th or 21st, but
while there will be sudden cold snaps, the
freezing weather is not expected to con-
time long enough to make fine ice .
When ice can be procured now, even of
moderate thickness, We think it advisable
to gather it in. The last of February is
expected TO be the next best crop season
with fair freeze during the last ten days
of January.
Mr.. Geo. E. Lambert is cutting some
beautiful ice, eleven inches thick in tn.
river channel, opposite the foot of Ninth
street. He has found field large enougl

claimed by the advocates of the canal
that the rafting interest would not be

lateral canal project would not hurt the
prospects of the Hennepin canal, and the
answer was given that it would not i'll the
opinion of the Moline gentlemen. for the
reason that it would remove the disputed
point of terminals for Hennepin. 1t was

Paul to St. Louis would look with favol
upon any means for avoiding the Rocl
Island rapids, or so improving them tina
navigation would be safe and easy, ant

built for much less money than the rapid
